With support from Markwayne Mullin and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the kratom industry is pursuing a potentially lucrative policy. Mr. Mullin owns equity in a company that could benefit.

 

Tuesday’s runoff for a slot on the Alabama Public Service Commission has a familiar ring to it, with talk of data centers and electricity costs. But in a southern twist, solar power has joined the list of villains.

Needless to say, solar has very different impacts from a datacenter: it's an energy source, not a consumer. It's also cheaper than burning stuff to make electricity, so if you didn't have a for-profit utility in the way, it could lower costs for people.

 

Secret memos show that the White House debated last year, to a greater degree than previously known, whether to limit habeas corpus rights for undocumented immigrants.

 

The vandalism was the latest in a spate of apparent demonstrations involving the slang term, which the Trump administration says is a reference to assassinating the president.

It'll take a year to get through the courts and in the meantime a huge chunk of junior researchers will find another career. This is going to permanently damage the US even if reversed

Yes, but ICE changed tactics so it's all less visible.

Same thing locally where I am. Signal chats are active, but we mostly respond to local cops doing something dumb and being mistaken for ICE

Several places have very active protests in support of the concentration camp hunger strikes too

They were showing up in large numbers before people were murdered for it. The murders just got your attention.
